A fast gut-check on how much your business leans on you day to day, and how close that's pushing you to burnout. The more the business needs you, the harder it is to sell and the harder it is to step away.
Created by our founder, Jason Duncan. The test runs on his site and takes a couple of minutes.
If every decision runs through you, you can't take a real break and a buyer can't picture the business without you. The same thing wearing you down is the same thing dragging your valuation.
You built the business, so of course it runs on you. But the more it needs you, the closer you sit to burnout, and the less it's worth to anyone thinking about buying it. A business that can't run without its owner is a business a buyer discounts, and one you can never fully walk away from.
This test is a quick read on where you are. It's not a diagnosis and it's not a plan. It's an honest gut-check to see how dependent the business is on you right now.
The test is short on purpose. It looks at how much the business relies on you and how that's showing up in you.
How much of the business still runs through you, from decisions to delivery to the things only you can do.
How that dependency is landing on you, and how close it's pushing you toward running on empty.
The test was created by our founder, Jason Duncan, and runs on his site. Answer the questions and see where you land.
The test tells you how dependent the business is on you. It doesn't tell you what to do about it.
